Villa Nichesola-Conforti, Renaissance villa in Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella, Italy
Villa Nichesola-Conforti displays classical architectural elements with rustic stonework and six arcade loggias supported by refined pillars at its entrance.
The villa was constructed between 1580 and 1590 by Veronese legal expert Fabio Nichesola, as indicated by a Latin inscription on the western portal.
Three interior rooms feature mythological frescoes painted by Paolo Farinati, representing classical themes through monochromatic techniques and detailed compositions.
The property now houses the Conforti Museum, which exhibits a collection of ancient engravings and lime tracings of antique sculptures.
Cesare Nichesola established a botanical garden containing 140 rare plants from Egypt and Crete, transforming the complex into a villa-museum in the late 16th century.
